This looks very good!  The next thing is to see if we can generate the 
module-info files - as you know, we'll probably need some way to include 
some aspects of the module declaration in the configuration file(s) so 
that it can be passed through to the generated module-info files.

We might want to rename this to "deprecated" so that we can define a 
coarser grain "compat" module that includes "deprecated", legacy 
protocol and content handlers (in net-misc for now), legacy security 
code (in security-misc for now), the MIDI package, CORBA and 
out-of-favor APIs :-)
